nourishes in Paris during the month of De
cember is very remarkable. Your concierge
who is more likely than not to be very dis
ohllging ten or eleven months out of thu
year, will begin to put on gracious manner
in the first days of December, and will be
come steadily more gracious, moro smiling
more anxious to serve you, until she has re-
ceived on or about New Years day the objec
she has had in view in expanding upon you
whole months civiiity. All manner of PEG
pie are on the lookout, for etrennes show yol
various little attentions as the year is draw
ing to close which they forget to show a.
other times
a favorite bit of strategy is to give you .,
almanac, so that by the time the new yeaI
opens You are in a position to hang calen
dar in each of your rooms and offer some
more to your friends. People whose occupa,
lions you know nothing about, or would
rather know nothing about, look up between
Christmas and New Years day and inform
you of the duties they have been in the kabi
of performing for you as we'll as others Al
together, the new year is a very bad time 70,
those whose incomes are as tightly fitted Il
normal conditions of existence as hoop is ID
a barrel. 1t is no wonder that some people
actually run away from Paris for month o.
six weeks to escape the etrennes season -
